Constrained segment shapes in direct-aperture optimization for step-and-shoot IMRT

Journal Article Bedford, James L ; Webb, Steve - Medical Physics

Previous studies have shown that, by optimizing segment shapes and weights directly, without explicitly optimizing fluence profiles, effective IMRT plans can be generated with fewer segments. This study proposes a method of direct-aperture optimization with aperture shape constraints, which is designed to provide segmental IMRT plans using a minimum of simple, regular segments. The method uses a cubic function to create smoothly curving multileaf collimator shapes. Constraints on segment dimension and equivalent square are applied, and each segment can be constrained to lie within the previous one, for easy generation of fluence profiles with a single maximum.

Efficient analysis of stochastic gene dynamics in the non-adiabatic regime using piecewise deterministic Markov processes

Journal Article Lin, Yen Ting ; Buchler, Nicolas E. - Journal of the Royal Society Interface

Single-cell experiments show that gene expression is stochastic and bursty, a feature that can emerge from slow switching between promoter states with different activities. In addition to slow chromatin and/or DNA looping dynamics, one source of long-lived promoter states is the slow binding and unbinding kinetics of transcription factors to promoters, i.e. the non-adiabatic binding regime. Here, we introduce a simple analytical framework, known as a piecewise deterministic Markov process (PDMP), that accurately describes the stochastic dynamics of gene expression in the non-adiabatic regime. We illustrate the utility of the PDMP on a non-trivial dynamical system by analysing the propertiesmore »« less

Direct aperture optimization for IMRT using Monte Carlo generated beamlets

Journal Article Bergman, Alanah M ; Bush, Karl ; Milette, Marie-Pierre ; ... - Medical Physics

This work introduces an EGSnrc-based Monte Carlo (MC) beamlet does distribution matrix into a direct aperture optimization (DAO) algorithm for IMRT inverse planning. The technique is referred to as Monte Carlo-direct aperture optimization (MC-DAO). The goal is to assess if the combination of accurate Monte Carlo tissue inhomogeneity modeling and DAO inverse planning will improve the dose accuracy and treatment efficiency for treatment planning. Several authors have shown that the presence of small fields and/or inhomogeneous materials in IMRT treatment fields can cause dose calculation errors for algorithms that are unable to accurately model electronic disequilibrium.

Jaws-only IMRT using direct aperture optimization

Journal Article Earl, M A ; Afghan, M K. N. ; Yu, C X ; ... - Medical Physics

Using direct aperture optimization, we have developed an inverse planning approach that is capable of producing efficient intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) treatment plans that can be delivered without a multileaf collimator. This ''jaws-only'' approach to IMRT uses a series of rectangular field shapes to achieve a high degree of intensity modulation from each beam direction. Direct aperture optimization is used to directly optimize the jaw positions and the relative weights assigned to each aperture. Because the constraints imposed by the jaws are incorporated into the optimization, the need for leaf sequencing is eliminated. Results are shown for five patient casesmore »« less

Beamlet based direct aperture optimization for MERT using a photon MLC

Journal Article Henzen, D., E-mail: henzen@ams.unibe.ch ; Manser, P. ; Frei, D. ; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: A beamlet based direct aperture optimization (DAO) for modulated electron radiotherapy (MERT) using photon multileaf collimator (pMLC) shaped electron fields is developed and investigated. Methods: The Swiss Monte Carlo Plan (SMCP) allows the calculation of dose distributions for pMLC shaped electron beams. SMCP is interfaced with the Eclipse TPS (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) which can thus be included into the inverse treatment planning process for MERT. This process starts with the import of a CT-scan into Eclipse, the contouring of the target and the organs at risk (OARs), and the choice of the initial electron beam directions.more »« less
